I have a friend who NEVER smiles. I mean everytime she comes over she complains about her kids or her job or ANYTHING. I mean I have known her since we were teenagers and I remember the type of happy person she could be but I swear in the last year or so I have not heard ONE happy comment come out of her mouth.
When I ask her if everything is okay at home she says yes......is everything okay at work yes..........are you happy...........yes.........but in the next breath shes complaining and gripeing (although the best word can't be used here).
She went out to eat with my DH and I and she complained about every single thing that was brought out. The salad, the main course........you name it. It was almost to the point of being very very embarassing.
So what do you do? Do I just keep listening or should I ask her if she realizes how unhappy she seems. I love her like a sister and her two children call me Aunt Beth. I don't know how she would react though.........??????????
